Bible. Latin. O. T. Ezekiel [bifolium]

"Bifolium. Manuscript on vellum, 12mo (17.7 x 23.7 cm, 7 x 9.25"). [2] fA double-page spread from a small Paris Bible. Paris was the center of Bible production in the 13th century, with the text having been standardized there, and the University attracting scholars who wished to have just such a small Bible as this double leaf came from—a new thing in the 13th century. The texts on this bifolium are Ezekiel 27:11-30:3, containing prophecies against Tyre and Egypt, and Ezekiel 44:17-47:4, with directions for restoring the life of a just and righteous Israel and the beginning of Ezekiel's vision of water pouring forth from the temple.nnThis leaf is of very fine paper-thin vellum. The text is in two columns per page of 53 lines, faintly ruled in lead, the top line written above the top rule. The outer edge of the second leaf retains its prickings. Text is written in black ink in a very small and compact Gothic script of the style typical of Bibles and other scholarly manuscripts of the 13th century. The running headers are in red and blue ink, the numbers heading each chapter are likewise in red and blue, and there are 1 ten-line initial I (in red with blue tracery), 1 four-line initial H (in blue with red tracery), and 4 two-line initials (in red or blue with tracery in the contrasting color). Key initials in the text are lined in red. Some corrections have likewise been made in the text, in black or red, and there is some marginalia in black and red in an early hand.",Full pdf available, https://dl.mospace.umsystem.edu/mu/islandora/object/mu%3A439250/datastream/PDF/view
